The Evenheat V8 multi-purpose glass kiln is sized perfectly for home studios, teachers, instructors and test kiln use. It's capable of all firing types and techniques including glass, vitrigraph, ceramic, metal clays and more. Its stackable design makes placement easy, especially with vitrigraph work.
The V8 kiln is also equipped with a patent pending relay access port. This port essentially lets you simply remove a plate that is on the side of the control panel to gain access to the relay for replacement purposes. Normally one would have to remove the entire control panel to replace the relay. Very cool, quick and not overly technical.
The V8 easily transforms into the ultimate Vitrigraph kiln with its OPTIONAL Vitrigraph base accessory. Vitrigraph use highlights include a corner mounted thermocouple which offers more usable floor space and allows for larger pots up to 7.25" (competitor models have less usable floor space and are limited in pot size to about no larger than 5.5").
The V8 is capable of all firings up to 2350°F (1260°C). Acceptable materials include glass, ceramics, metal clays, metal processing, enamels and china paint. Designed with convenient use in mind the V8 operates from a standard household plug.

V8 Vitrigraph Base
The V8 Vitrigraph floor includes a 2.75" hole machined into the base for Vitrigraph work. The V8 can also be used as a standard kiln by replacing the base with a
base that does not contain the vitrigraph cut-out. The V8 is truly multi-purpose. See our accessories section below for additional bases.
Vitrigraph Pots up to 7.5" in Diameter
Usable floor space is always good and the V8 offers the most of usable floor space of kilns this size. This extra usable floor space is made possible by positioning the thermocouple (temperature sensor) at the corner of the chamber as opposed to the flat side.
Vitrigraph pots up to 7.5" diameter can be used. This means more volume per session without the constant re-load and wait. With the V8 Vitrigraph project size becomes less of an issue compared to competing brands.
Stackable Design
The V8 Vitrigraph is designed in a stackable format. This allows the artist to convert from a vitrigraph to a standard kiln in a matter of minutes. Stackable also makes positioning the kiln that much easier as each piece is placed independently. If you plan to convert back and forth between vitrigraph and standard use or are a travelling artist the stackable feature comes in very handy.
Swing View Equipped
V8 temperature controls are fitted to our Swing View Adjustable Enclosure. The swing view is a pivoting, swing-up enclosure that allows you to rotate the control to a comfortable viewing and programming angle. Once you're done, lay it back down to see it from across your studio. It's that simple.
The swing view pairs well with touchscreen controls like the TAP II, Icon+ and Icon as viewing angle can be perfectly aligned. You'll love it.
Relay Access Port
The V8 incorporates our Relay Access Port for simple, no-panel-off relay replacement. Simply remove the access plate to gain access to the mechanical relay. There's no need to remove the control panel and dig into the internal wiring. It's absolutely simple and effective and all it takes is a screwdriver!
It's a given that mechanical relays will fail at some point. This relay access port really comes in handy when they do.
120V Standard Plug
The V8 Vitrigraph operates from 120V and is equipped with a standard North American 120V plug. Connection is very easy. We do make the V8 Vitrigraph in global voltages as well, by request. Please see the Build Options section below for details.
Options:
Multiple Control Options
The V8 Vitrigraph is available in a variety of controls including the Icon, Icon+, Tap II and Rampmaster 3. At Evenheat we take the best control platforms on the market and make them even better by adding Special Limits thermocouples for precise temperature sensing and non-metallic faceplates for stellar Wi-Fi reception for on-line Apps. Visit our Controls tab to learn more about our controls and why they represent the very best that you can get.
Quiet Drive Solid State Relay Option
The V8 Vitrigraph is available with our Quiet Drive Solid State Relay option. Our Quiet Drive Solid State Relay System offers tight temperature control, high reliability and increased heating element life. The Quiet
Drive is arguably the best designed and best performing solid state system on the market.
Why Upgrade from Mechanical Relays to Solid-State Relays?
Mechanical Relays, which come standard on most kilns have internal moving parts which over time wear out and need to be replaced. Kiln manufacturers recommend you replace your mechanical relays approximately every 2 years. Solid-state relays have no moving parts and last far longer than standard mechanical relays and offer far better temperature control during hold times. Since solid-state relays also have no moving parts to wear out, they NEVER need to be replaced. You will notice that solid-state relays are silent. The only sound you will hear is just the reassuring hum of the heating elements. So, this factory upgrade saves you potential down time from having to wait for new relays to arrive, potential over-fires from relays sticking in the closed position, potential aggravation from having to learn how to remove and replace the mechanical relays yourself. We think this upgrade is well worth the cost and will save you time and aggravation over the life of your kiln.
About the NEW Icon Basic Touchscreen Controller...
The Icon basic touchscreen controller is built around Bartlett's new Spark platform and brings touchscreen design to the market at a lower price point. The Icon / Spark was rigorously field-tested by Bartlett, Evenheat and others over the latter course of 2023. Programming was found to be clean and simple. User interaction with the display was deemed excellent. As expected, the Quiet Drive Solid State relay performed beautifully. In the end, victory. As with other Evenheat control designs, the Icon adds to the existing Spark control platform with improvements like Special Limits thermocouples for precise temperature sensing and non-metallic faceplates for excellent Wi-Fi reception for the Bartlett on-line App. The Icon brings outstanding value and performance to the marketplace. **Kilnfrog Note: This is not the same controller as the Genesis-Mini which is the smaller version of the Icon+/Genesis 2.0 Controller. The Icon Basic, although it is a touchscreen, is a basic controller that does not have the same functionality as the Icon+ or the TAP controllers.
***Looking for a Vitrigraph stand... we suggest using the Seville Classics UltraDurable Commercial-Grade 5-Tier Steel Wire Shelving. Set it up using the top and bottom shelves only... and you are good to go! It's tall, portable, and perfect! This is what the pro's use, and you won't be sorry for getting it. Honestly, don't go trying to rig up a ladder and some boards, etc. because you don't want to spend extra dollars, or you think it will take up too much room. Whatever you set up will end up being an obstacle to you using your vitrigraph because it will be a PAIN to set up and break down. Trust us! We've been there. Save yourself some hassle!
Havent used it yet, lots going on right now.

Excellent! So happy I do not have to babysit the kiln. Just follow the instructions that accompany the kiln and enjoy the results.
It is exactly what I ordered with a few blemishes. The base was bent and the brick crumbled away in spots. There was no damage to the box it was shipped in, which leads me to believe all damage was done in factory. The kiln was shipped in a timely manner and Kilnfrog kept me informed during shipping. I love the kiln.
